   There are a few Minutemen with high scoring outputs, but it has proved a great struggle for UMass coach Greg Cannella to find combinations and plays that work regularly.
   
   On Saturday, however, the Minutemen found something that not only worked, it won them a game.With his team trailing 8-7 with 18 seconds remaining in regulation and again in the first overtime, Cannella utilized a reset play that led to high-percentage looks for his best finishers positioned directly in front of the goalkeeper.
   
   The formation was simple.One player behind the net with the other five lined up in front of the goalkeeper with defensemen positioned between each UMass player.Once the referees whistle the start of play, the player behind the net rotates out, and those aligned in the restraining box start moving.
   
   "It's something that we've been working on for a couple weeks," Cannella said.

   UMass coach Greg Cannella called a timeout when the Minutemen (5-5, 3-1 ECAC) gained possession of the ball following a Hobart turnover.With his young team still frenzied following Tim Balise's game-tying goal, Cannella turned to the same play that made overtime a possibility.
   ...
   Cannella also made use of a timeout with 18 second left in regulation.
   ...
   "They had 18 seconds, so they needed to take their time and be patient," Cannella said.
   ...
   "I think we did a great job against their attack; I don't think they had a single point," Cannella said.
